Chapter 275: Interrogating Cuiping

Nanshan Road.

Cuiping carried her handbag and walked into a tailor shop.

This shop had been around for many years.

Not only was the fabric solid, but the owner's handiwork was also superb; the clothes made were completely not inferior to those famous big-name tailors, and the price was cheap.

"Shopkeeper Liao, my Old Yu has been thin recently."

"This time when making clothes, the size can be slightly smaller."

Cuiping paid the money and said to the shopkeeper wearing glasses.

"Mrs. Yu, if you just say it like that, I can't be sure."

"How about this, let Mr. Yu come by when he gets off work so I can have a gauge."

"If I make a mess of it, wouldn't it be a waste of fabric to change it?" The shopkeeper laughed.

"Alright."

"I'll call him later and have him come by to get measured when he gets off work."

"Shopkeeper, then thank you for your trouble."

Cuiping said politely and turned to leave the shop.

To take a shortcut.

She chose a small alleyway she usually walked through.

Deep in the alley.

Li Ya held his hand and bit his lip lightly, his eyes full of expectation.

Gao Yuan walked a few steps closer:

"Captain Li, Wang Cuiping is coming toward this alley."

"Wu Ruirui isn't there, right?" Li Ya asked.

"No."

"My people are watching; after she went back, Wu Ruirui hasn't left the Station Master's house again." Gao Yuan said.

"Good."

"Make a move and catch her."

Li Ya put down his hand and ordered.

A group of people quickly ambushed on both sides of the alley.

As Cuiping walked over, Gao Yuan and six others rushed out together and surrounded Cuiping.

"What are you doing? Learning to rob people in broad daylight?"

"I've seen you, Confidentiality Bureau."

"Robbing me? Want to die?"

Cuiping stared at them with sharp eyes and scolded sternly.

"Mrs. Yu, please come with us." Gao Yuan stepped forward and said.

"You say go, and I go?"

"Even your Captain Li has to call me sister-in-law when he sees me."

"Don't look for trouble, all of you get out of the way."

Cuiping reached out to push him.

Gao Yuan remained motionless and said expressionlessly:

"Mrs. Yu, we are just doing our duty, don't make it difficult for us."

"Good dogs don't block the road, get lost!"

Cuiping was annoyed, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to start fighting.

"Take her."

Gao Yuan gave an order, and several people pounced on her.

"If I don't open your eyes today, you'll think a tiger not showing its power is a sick cat." Cuiping didn't spoil them.

She slashed a hand blade at Gao Yuan's face.

Gao Yuan pretended to be unable to dodge, and it hit the middle of his neck; he let out an 'ouch' and collapsed on the ground.

This was real pain.

His eyes went black, and he almost couldn't breathe, fainting on the spot.

Cuiping's skills were not old.

Although she was wearing a qipao and couldn't open her legs, her arms, which lifted stone locks every day, were infinitely powerful and not comparable to ordinary people.

Only heard the sharp shouts.

Fists and palms were like lightning, fierce and fast.

These police academy graduates who grew up learning military physical training, although they could all fight, were just white gifts when encountering a real master.

Cuiping knocked several people to the ground in two or three moves.

This was still only using thirty percent of her strength, without using eye-poking, crotch-kicking, or heavy punches and kicks.

Otherwise, these few little rabbits.

Not bragging, killing them was like playing.

"Ouch, ouch."

Gao Yuan and the others lay on the ground, groaning.

"Just you want to play with me? Too green, go back and practice well."

Cuiping clapped her hands and intended to leave.

Li Ya, who was observing in secret, saw the situation wasn't good and led Yu Cheng and Song Fei out from the other side quickly.

"Sister-in-law has good skills."

Li Ya walked up with his hands behind his back and smiled.

"Why, Captain Li also wants to practice two moves?" Cuiping asked with a smile.

"How could I be a match for you, sister-in-law."

"You are the Mobile Corps Commander leader who kills devils like killing chickens." Li Ya said with a fake smile.

"I won't lie to you."

"I really have slaughtered devils."

"Forget about the Mobile Corps Commander leader."

"The man is in the city, people don't look down on him." Cuiping said.

"So, sister-in-law has seen guerrillas?" Li Ya asked, pretending to be surprised.

"Stop pretending to be surprised."

"There are many people fighting devils in the mountains."

"Occasionally, guerrillas pass by to have a meal or hide from disaster, it's not like I haven't seen them."

"What's the matter? Is it against the law to see guerrillas?"

Cuiping said carelessly.

The old home in Yixian was originally a Red Ticket active area.

To say she had never seen them at all would be unrealistic.

"Not necessarily."

"It's not against the law for others to see them."

"You are the Mobile Corps Commander leader Chen Taohua, the person in charge of the Red Ticket township group."

"Your sister Chen Cuiping is even a clerk in the Border Defense Sixth Section."

"Sister-in-law, come with me."

"Someone familiar wants to see you!"

Li Ya tilted his head and waved his hand.

"Li Ya."

"I've given you face, you piece of trash, don't be endless."

"Want to take me away."

"Fine, you try."

Cuiping raised her hand and set up a stance.

"Don't mess around."

"Sister-in-law is a nominal disciple of Master Sun Lutang; even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to move against you, isn't that just asking for death?"

Li Ya wasn't stupid and directly pulled out his service pistol from his waist.

At the same time, he tilted his head.

Several other subordinates also pulled out their service pistols and aimed them at Cuiping.

"Why, no martial virtue? Can't beat me so you want to use a gun?" Cuiping said angrily.

"Sorry."

"Mrs. Yu, come with us."

Li Ya sneered.

"If I don't agree, you dare to kill me?" Cuiping said unhappily.

"You can try." Li Ya said.

"You know, without evidence, I wouldn't have come to invite you."

"If you resist arrest, you're dead."

"Your Old Yu can't do anything to me either."

"Don't joke with your life, please."

Li Ya opened the safety and hooked his finger on the trigger.

"Fine, you're ruthless."

"I want to see what kind of tricks you're playing."

Cuiping relaxed her fists and said without fear.

"I like this straightforwardness of yours, sister-in-law. The car is outside, let's go."

Li Ya was overjoyed and waved his hand.

Several action team members surrounded Cuiping and walked outside.

As long as Cuiping got in the car, even if she were Mu Guiying or Sun Erniang reborn, Li Ya could peel a layer of her skin; he wasn't afraid she wouldn't confess.

Out of the alley, Li Ya was about to push Cuiping into the car.

A surprised voice came to his ear:

"Cuiping?"

Li Ya turned his head and saw the Station Master's wife, Mei Qiuju, and Lu Qiaoshan's wife, Li Guifen, not far away.

"Damn it!"

He cursed secretly.

"Senior Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Li Ya greeted them.

"Guifen and I came to get some cloth."

"Cuiping, this, what's going on? Why are they all bruised and swollen?"

Mei Qiuju pointed at the action team members who had been beaten.

Li Ya sucked his cheeks, turned his head guiltily to the other side.

"Sister Mei."

"It's nothing, Captain Li is looking for me for some official business, I'll be back after asking a few questions." Cuiping smiled.

"Official business, huh."

"Alright, we won't disturb you."

"Li Ya, after you're done asking, hurry and let Cuiping come back, Guifen and I are waiting for her to play mahjong."

Mei Qiuju ordered with a smile.

"Rest assured, Senior Sister-in-law." Li Ya smiled and bowed.

"Cuiping, waiting for you."

Li Guifen waved her hand and walked away quickly with Mei Qiuju.

"Mrs. Yu, get in the car." Li Ya raised his hand and said.

Cuiping knew this matter was stable.

She dove into the car.

Li Ya shook his head, and two armed team members followed into the car, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Cuiping in the middle.

"Captain."

"What now, still taking her to the small house?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Take a fart."

"If the Station Master's wife and Lu's wife saw it, with their mouths, wouldn't they shout it to the whole world."

"Really cursed for eight lifetimes, too coincidental."

Li Ya punched the car body, extremely annoyed.

"Then... then what to do?"

"People are already caught, if we don't interrogate, she will definitely run away overnight, and it will be hard to find her again."

Gao Yuan twisted his still-aching neck, baring his teeth and sucking in air.

"Indeed."

"Secret interrogation won't work, then we can only do it openly."

"No matter, I have evidence."

"She can't deny it."

"Bring her back to the station!"

"I don't believe I can't handle her."

Li Ya waved his hand and ordered.

Arrived at the station.

He brought Cuiping directly into the interrogation room.

"Baoxing, don't say anything, torture first." Li Ya ordered.

"Let's see who dares."

"Li Ya, if you dare to torture me without cause, let's see if Old Yu doesn't slaughter you!"

Cuiping shouted.

Then, she glared at the few interrogators:

"Open your dog eyes wide, let's see who dares to touch me."

Lu Baoxing wasn't stupid.

Interrogators had rules; as long as it was the commander's order, especially the Station Master's order, even if it was interrogating their own father, they weren't allowed to blink.

But after Old Five died, everyone knew the score.

The times had changed.

Boss Dai was gone, the old rules had to be changed.

Now it was a society of human relationships; cruel officials no longer had room to survive, and if you weren't smart, you'd be stabbed sooner or later.

"Captain Li, this is the family of the Confidentiality Bureau."

"How about you ask the Station Master for instructions?"

Lu Baoxing wasn't worried about Yu Zecheng, but this family was very close to Secretary Hong.

He had a good relationship with Secretary Hong in private and had received many favors.

This was clearly settling personal scores for no reason.

If he did it himself, wouldn't he be used as a gun? Was he stupid?

"Is this how your interrogation room handles things now?"

"When Ma Kui was here, even the City Senate could be brought in for torture; why doesn't Old Five's rule work with you?"

Li Ya glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"The primary duty of an interrogator is to be loyal to the leader and the commander; this is also the rule set by Boss Dai."

"This is Director Yu's wife."

"Without an order signed by the Station Master, this subordinate really doesn't dare to use torture."

"You should ask the Station Master for instructions, don't make it difficult for this subordinate."

Lu Baoxing bowed and apologized with a smile.

"Baoxing."

"You'd better pray the Station Master can work for a lifetime."

Li Ya patted his shoulder, gave a cold snort, and walked out.

Lu Baoxing shrugged speechlessly.

If the Station Master didn't work anymore.

He would be Hong Zhiyou's bodyguard or gatekeeper.

Damn it, I won't look at your face, what's the matter?

Dog thing!

He cursed secretly, signaled the other two interrogators to retreat, and then changed from his cold, bloodthirsty attitude to walk up to Cuiping with a smile.

"What are you looking at?" Cuiping glared at him.

"Senior Sister, do you want water?" Lu Baoxing asked.

"Who is your Senior Sister? What kind of relationship are you trying to climb?" Cuiping said unhappily.

She didn't have a good impression of these executioners with blood on their hands and wished she could peel the skin off this bunch of grandsons.

"I saw Secretary Hong call you that on the street last time." He whispered.

"Secretary Hong can call me that, and you can too?" Cuiping said.

"I... Secretary Hong and I aren't outsiders, just treat this as your home. Rest assured, if I really have to use torture, I guarantee you'll only suffer superficial wounds, not hurt your muscles or bones."

"Old Five's personally taught craft."

He whispered.

Cuiping looked at him sideways, curled her lips, and ignored him.

Deputy Station Master's office.

Yu Zecheng's dismissal document hadn't come down yet, and the sign at the door still hung "Deputy Station Master".

Lu Qiaoshan curled his lips with disdain and walked in quickly:

"Old Yu, why are you still sitting here?"

"Old Lu, is... is something wrong?" Yu Zecheng asked.

"Your wife was caught by Li Ya."

"It was just a while ago, your sister-in-law and the Station Master's wife saw it with their own eyes; just now my people saw Li Ya bring her into the interrogation room."

"If you don't hurry, with Li Ya's petty character, I'm afraid she's already on the electric chair by now."

Lu Qiaoshan said urgently.

"Ah."

"This Li Ya, what kind of madness is he having again."

"Old Lu, thank you."

"I'm going to the interrogation room."

Yu Zecheng took a gun from the drawer, loaded it, tucked it into his waist, and was about to go out.

"Hey, hey."

"What are you doing? Don't be impulsive."

"Once the gun is fired, that's one corpse and three lives."

"Calm down first, go find the Station Master!"

"Since it's an open trial, a Lieutenant Colonel's wife must have the Station Master presiding to count."

Lu Qiaoshan quickly pulled him and walked toward the Station Master's office.

The two arrived at the Station Master's office.

Wu Jingzhong was chatting with Hong Zhiyou.

"Station Master, big trouble."

"Li Ya caught Mrs. Yu, and he's interrogating her in the interrogation room right now." Lu Qiaoshan reported.

"This happened?" Wu Jingzhong stood up in shock.

"Indeed."

"When they caught her, your wife and Guifen were at the scene; they didn't even say hello, seven or eight people directly moved against Mrs. Yu and forced her into the car." Lu Qiaoshan added fuel to the fire.

"Station Master, this is too rampant."

"I am, after all, a dignified Lieutenant Colonel of the Party and State, and the position of Deputy Station Master hasn't been dismissed yet."

"Just catching people so openly."

"Is there any Party discipline or state law left? The old Military Statistics didn't have such a crazy way of catching people internally."

Yu Zecheng's eyes were red, and he said indignantly.

"Zecheng, don't be anxious, I..."

Wu Jingzhong was about to comfort him when Li Ya walked in.

"Li Ya, are you messing with my wife?"

Yu Zecheng's eyes turned red instantly, and he reached for his waist.

Li Ya's face was like autumn water, his eyes firm and cold:

"Deputy Station Master Yu, I am dealing with the matter, not the person."

"Jianfeng has given instructions to strengthen internal supervision during wartime, especially the confidentiality system, which is the top priority."

"Your file has suspicious points."

"Wang Cuiping does too."

"I invited your wife back for routine investigation and interrogation."

"Don't use a chicken feather as an arrow; is this how you invite people? Seven or eight big men bullying a woman."

"You can investigate."

"Notify me, handle it officially, and I can bring her to the station."

"Was kidnapping necessary?"

Yu Zecheng retorted angrily.

"You misunderstood."

"We didn't hurt your wife a single bit; it was your wife who beat my people."

"There are still two lying in the hospital now."

Li Ya put his hand in his pocket and gave a cold snort.

"Alright."

"Li Ya, I have emphasized repeatedly that internal review and investigation are necessary, but the premise for catching people and using torture is ironclad evidence."

"You caught Mrs. Yu, do you have evidence?"

Wu Jingzhong raised his hand to stop the argument between the two.

"Station Master, of course I have evidence."

"I still know the rules." Li Ya laughed confidently.

"Hmm."

"Then let's go to the interrogation room and listen together?" Wu Jingzhong looked at the crowd.

"Listen." Lu Qiaoshan nodded.

"The Station Master presiding over the interrogation is naturally fair and just, I have no opinion." Yu Zecheng nodded.

The group came to the interrogation room together.

Everyone took their seats.

Hong Zhiyou took the kettle, poured tea for the Station Master, Lu Qiaoshan, and others, then pulled a chair and sat down next to Old Yu.

"Cuiping, Captain Li says you are a Red Ticket Mobile Corps Commander leader, are you?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"Station Master, don't listen to his mouth spraying dung; he's just jealous that my Old Yu became Deputy Station Master and wants to sit in this position."

"If I were a Mobile Corps Commander, I'd be the first to shoot him."

Cuiping pointed at Li Ya and said angrily.

"Cuiping, don't talk nonsense." Yu Zecheng scolded.

"It's true."

"Isn't he just bullying you because your temper is good?"

Cuiping said with dissatisfaction.

"Alright, Li Ya, what is your evidence that she is a Red Ticket?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"Station Master, this is the intelligence I collected."

"This was dug out from Ansai by the traitor Han Jien of Yancheng, and it has the signatures and stamps of the high-level Border Defense."

"Take a look."

Li Ya handed over the intelligence.

Wu Jingzhong took it and looked at it, then turned his gaze to Li Ya.

Li Ya was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other for a second, and Wu Jingzhong calmly handed it to Lu Qiaoshan.

Last time Li Ya came to report, he said the original was flipped by Xie Ruolin.

Xie didn't spit out any dry goods.

The only possibility was that this was forged by someone Li Ya found.

Of course, he didn't need to expose it.

Because Li Ya couldn't win at all; if he didn't expose it, he could still owe him a favor, why not do it?

Sure enough, Li Ya breathed a sigh of relief and blinked gratefully.

Lu Qiaoshan finished reading and laughed:

"Captain Li, forgive my clumsy eyes, but other than a 'Ping' character, I don't see any other text related to Wang Cuiping or Yu Zecheng."

"Chen Cuiping is Mrs. Yu's younger sister." Li Ya said.

"Originally, the Red Ticket was for her to come to Jinhai and execute a secret lurking mission with Emei Peak, but it's a pity she had an accident on September 26th, so the Red Ticket could only urgently send Chen Cuiping's older sister, which is Mrs. Yu, to Jinhai."

"According to the previous confessions of Qiao Sanmei and Duan Guinian, Mrs. Yu was once a Mobile Corps Commander leader in the Yixian Weitou Village area."

"It was also because the local county brigade and the Border Defense were not well-connected."

"Mrs. Yu and Deputy Station Master Yu had many differences in work philosophy, so they often quarreled, not looking like a normal couple at all."

He continued.

"Wait, let me interrupt."

"Did you get it wrong? Even if Emei Peak's wife is a Red Ticket, shouldn't the one you want to catch be Zhou Gendi?"

"Emei Peak, there are still fresh flowers in the cemetery."

Lu Qiaoshan raised his hand to interrupt Li Ya's deduction.

Li Ya knew that Emei Peak was the difficult point of this case.

He smiled and said:

"It's not Zhou Gendi."

"The codename Emei Peak doesn't refer to one person at all; one is the old Emei Peak in the mountain city, and one is the Emei Peak in Jinhai."

"The headquarters also held a special discussion meeting on this point, and Boss Dai made this conjecture when he was here."

"Emei Peak was very active in the mountain city initially."

"Ma Kui was that old Emei Peak in the mountain city, and the one here in Jinhai is..."

Li Ya cleverly bypassed the difficulty and didn't continue to entangle in the problem of Emei Peak.

At the same time, he brought out Dai Li's past inference to seal the mouths of Lu Qiaoshan and the Station Master.

He wanted to deduce Yu Zecheng from Cuiping.

Instead of pointing at Yu Zecheng right away, that would be very passive.

Sure enough.

Lu Qiaoshan curled his lips and didn't argue further.

In this industry, Boss Dai was the eternal monument.

People died.

The words said were still the truth.

"Captain Li, do you mean Deputy Station Master Yu is the other Emei Peak?" Wu Jingzhong asked.

"Station Master, I don't have this meaning at the moment."

"I am interrogating Wang Cuiping today."

"Only discussing her identity, and her relationship with Chen Cuiping of the Border Defense Sixth Section."

Li Ya said indifferently.

"Chen Cuiping is Chen Cuiping, what does it have to do with me, Wang Cuiping?" Cuiping just felt it was funny.

"Of course it has to do with you."

"Your younger sister, after all."

"Everyone, please look at this photo!"

Li Ya took out Chen Cuiping's military uniform photo from his pocket and displayed it one by one.
